“Pasculli’s piece trumphs…visceral and daring.”- 3 Stars, Chicago Tribune
“This is the kind of theatre that magically makes you think afterward about what it meant.”
“Recommended!”
Core of the PUDEL guts an ancient German legend to discover the heart of the matter. The legend is familiar – Faust and his overwhelming obsession to know everything drives him to sell his soul to Mephistopheles in exchange for complete intellectual enlightenment. He believes he gets the better end of the bargain, but when he loses his heart to the beautiful Gertrude, the devil convinces him otherwise. Through actor-driven authorship and dynamic physical action, Core of the PUDEL violently dissects the original text to examine the destructive act of purely intellectual investigation and reveal the core of the quandary: how do you measure the value of a person’s soul?
